[00:28] <Saintly-i386> in xorg.conf, my mouse is ste up but refuses to work... i think its either the device option file settings or the driver, but i dont know whether changing the driver will help becaouse i dont know the driver.
[00:29] <Saintly-i386> should i change the device option from /dev/input/mice to /dev/input/mouse0 ?
[00:32] <Saintly-i386> slow day in here lol.
[00:38] <Saintly-i386> REALLY slow day
[00:41] <dr4c4n> Saintly-i386: yes, but I'm good for a laugh.. doh on the \join
[00:48] <Saintly-i386> ROFL
[00:51] <Saintly-i386> really dont wanna wait here till my question gets answered... i love this laptop lol, its older than my son. :D
[00:53] <dr4c4n> question? what's the question?
[00:53] <Saintly-i386> in xorg.conf, my mouse is ste up but refuses to work... i think its either the device option file settings or the driver, but i dont know whether changing the driver will help becaouse i dont know the driver.
[00:53] <dr4c4n> Saintly-i386: sorry that last msg was directed to you..
[00:53] <Saintly-i386> should i change the device option from /dev/input/mice to /dev/input/mouse0 ?
[00:53] <Saintly-i386> its fine :D
[00:54] <dr4c4n> Saintly-i386: as per most linux configs.. backup ur orig, test the change :)
[00:54] <Saintly-i386> lol of course :D
[00:54] <dr4c4n> I would try it out, and see if it works, otherwise if it was from default config, if you look up your model, and see if other's have had the same issue
[00:55] <dr4c4n> and check to see if it does the same thing if u plug in external mouse
[00:55] <Saintly-i386> does the confige actually differ from "mouse" for a device? ive never seen it other wise... oh and though i say "mouse" i really mena touch pad :D
[00:55] <Saintly-i386> will do
[00:55] <Saintly-i386> knew it was a good idea to get this targus mouse :D
[00:56] <dr4c4n> :) yes it works in a pinch but your touchpad should work too
[00:56] <dr4c4n> i know mine does, btw are u running xubuntu or ubuntu?

[08:29] <Arpad2> hello
[08:33] <share> hello
[08:40] <Arpad2> from live cd how can be the HDD mounted<
[08:40] <Arpad2> ?
[08:40] <knome> Arpad2, it should be mounted automatically to /media
[08:41] <Arpad2> ok
[08:41] <Arpad2> I tried nvisdia driver , after removed it
[08:41] <Arpad2> and now xubuntu doesnt appears
[08:42] <Arpad2> knome> thx
[08:42] <knome> np
[08:43] <Arpad2> knome: that folder is emptz
[08:43] <knome> !mount
[09:19] <Arpad2> can I modify xorg.conf from live cd?
[09:21] <knome> yes
[09:22] <Arpad2> >(
[09:22] <Arpad2> :)
[09:22] <Arpad2> ok
[09:22] <Arpad2> knome: how? :)
[09:22] <Arpad2> sudo nano xorg.conf didnt work
[09:23] <knome> first you have to get the disc mounted where your xorg.conf lies
[09:23] <knome> let's say it's mounted to /media/system
[09:24] <knome> then you'd edit xorg.conf by /media/system/etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:24] <knome> s/by/from
[09:25] <Arpad2> what is tha lat line<
[09:25] <Arpad2> ?
[09:26] <knome> Arpad2, have you mounted the disc where your xorg.conf is?
[09:26] <Arpad2> not zet. ok I ll do it
[09:33] <xubi> newcomer from windows;where do I find xorg in 10.4
[09:37] <knome> xubi, by xorg, what do you mean?
[09:41] <Arpad2> knome: I think mz disk is not mounted to /media/szstem
[09:41] <Arpad2> knome: I think it is in /cdrom
[09:41] <knome> Arpad2, that was just an example. if you mount the disk, you define the mount point yourself
[09:42] <knome> Arpad2, err, that's the cd, not the hard drive
[09:42] <knome> Arpad2, you can't edit the xorg.conf of the cd
[09:43] <Arpad2> ok
[09:43] <knome> Arpad2, is that what you wanted?
[09:44] <Arpad2> no
[09:44] <Arpad2> I want to change the xorg.conf on my harddrive
[09:44] <knome> Arpad2, okay. your HDD mount command should be something LIKE (note: not necessarily exactly): "mount /dev/sda1 /media/system"
[09:44] <xubi> well I actually dont know, I understand is a file
[09:45] <knome> xubi, right - newer xubuntu installations do not have that by default, but the correct path is /etc/X11/zorg.xonf
[09:45] <knome> erm, xorg.conf apparently..
[09:45] <Arpad2> i mounted the partition to /mnt
[09:45] <knome> Arpad2, then your xorg.conf should be at /mnt/etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:46] <xubi> I found a solution for a display problem I have , and refers to xorg editing
[09:46] <Arpad2> yes
[09:46] <Arpad2> there it is
[09:46] <knome> xubi, yeah. you can create the file :)
[09:46] <xubi> I suppose I should better tell you my prob;
[09:46] <knome> might help as well
[09:47] <xubi> after installing the 10.04 on my old HP xh 455(256MB RAM), 18 GBhard,with athlon at 900 MHz,
[09:48] <knome> Arpad2, well, you're free to edit the file ;)
[09:48] <xubi> the display is abt 10" and my screen is probably 15"
[09:48] <Arpad2> I tried with sudo nano
[09:49] <knome> Arpad2, and?
[09:49] <Arpad2> knome: Error opening terminal: unknown.
[09:50] <knome> Arpad2, try 'export TERM=xterm' first
[09:50] <Arpad2> knome: ok I tzpe it
[09:53] <Arpad2> knome: it worked :)
[09:53] <knome> good, so you now can edit the file? :)
[09:54] <knome> xubi, erm... yeah, what are you suggested to do in order to fix the problem?
[09:54] <Arpad2> knome: already did :)
[09:54] <knome> great
[09:54] <Arpad2> knome: what was this trick  all about?
[09:55] <knome> Arpad2, nano didn't know the terminal type, since the TERM variable was unset. by exporting it with value xterm, nano knew it could work like it was in an xterm terminal
[09:56] <xubi> well, I can't use the command line yet so I tried over menues; with driver looks ok so far but does not accept a better resolution than 800x600
[09:57] <Arpad2> knome: thx for the extensive explanation
[09:57] <knome> Arpad2, no problem ;)
[09:58] <knome> xubi, well, in order to create an xorg.conf file, follow these instructions: http://www.osguides.net/operation-systems/217-how-to-create-xorgconf-in-ubuntu-910.html
[09:58] <knome> xubi, then after that, you can edit the file from any text editor
[09:58] <xubi> I was suggested to edit xorg, course I didn't find it.
[09:58] <xubi> now I understand, I have to create it
[09:59] <xubi> thanx for instrux
[09:59] <knome> no problem
[10:00] <xubi> isn't another way do solve my display problem?
[10:00] <knome> xubi, probably not
[10:02] <xubi> what is zorg.xonf? it is in the same path where I should put the xorg
[10:03] <knome> that was a typo, it should be xorg.conf :)
[10:03] <xubi> :) ok I was wild trying to find it
[10:04] <knome> anyway, i have to go
[10:04] <knome> goodl uck and see you later
[10:06] <Arpad2> knome: thx for help, now it from harddrive
[10:07] <Arpad2> how can I restore the Places tad on the upper panel?
[10:07] <Arpad2> tab
[10:07] <xubi> thanks Knome,  will also be around for the next months from now

[14:15] <dvanstone> hmmm
[14:17] <dvanstone> can I add an entry to boot a different OS on a separate disc
[14:18] <dvanstone> ?
[14:18] <Sysi> update-grub may does it automatically
[14:19] <Sysi> !grub2 | or see
[14:20] <dvanstone> update grub? is wikified somewhere?
[14:20] <Sysi> it's just command
[14:20] <Sysi> sudo update-grub
[14:21] <dvanstone> can one grub load both deb and rpm builds
[14:22] <Sysi> it can load different distros
[14:22] <Sysi> rpm and deb are just packages that package manager extracts
[14:22] <Sysi> g2g →

[19:22] <scifi> hi, i cant get any sound from my laptop speakers, any suggestions?
[19:49] <sparkie> merry xmas guys
[20:02] <Sysi> scifi: check everything unmuted from mixer
[20:02] <Sysi> you could try googling by name of your souncard
[21:52] <nicofs> if i want a certain command (bash) to be run, every time the system starts - what file should i put it in?
[21:53] <TheSheep> nicofs: as root?
[21:54] <TheSheep> nicofs: or as user when you log in?
[21:54] <TheSheep> nicofs: also, what command is it, there may be a better way to do it
[21:54] <nicofs> TheSheep, i need to add a bit to $PATH - and then set the screen resolution...
[21:55] <TheSheep> nicofs: that's way after the system boot
[21:56] <TheSheep> nicofs: adding to path -- check ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc, and global equivalents in /etc/ for all users
[21:56] <TheSheep> nicofs: setting resolution -- create an xorg.conf file and set it there
[21:56] <nicofs> TheSheep, xorg.conf doesn't work...
[21:57] <TheSheep> !doesn't work
[21:57] <nicofs> TheSheep, i wrote a script to do that... you just enter "resolution width height hz" and your screen gets  adjusted...
[21:58] <TheSheep> nicofs: wow, you wrote your own version of xrandr? :D
[21:58] <nicofs> TheSheep, no - but a script that unifies gtf and xrandr to something user-friendly...
[21:59] <nicofs> TheSheep, basically, it does all the addmode, changemode and so on for you...
[21:59] <TheSheep> anyways, just put it in your 'autostarted applications' in 'sessions and startup'
[21:59] <TheSheep> if you really must
[23:20] <wizardslovak> hello people
[23:20] <wizardslovak> where do i find c heaader files?
[23:21] <wizardslovak> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
[23:21] <wizardslovak> kernel?
[23:22] <scifi> my laptop has a AD1996A high definition audio chipset and i cant get any sound from it, any suggestions
[23:25] <well_laid_lawn> wizardslovak: in /usr/include if you have them installed
[23:27] <wizardslovak> hmm
[23:27] <wizardslovak> i am getting this
[23:27] <wizardslovak> The header files in /usr/include are generally for C libraries, not for the
[23:27] <wizardslovak> running kernel. If you do not have kernel header files in your /usr/src
[23:27] <wizardslovak> directory, you probably do not have the kernel-source package installed. Are
[23:27] <wizardslovak> you sure that /usr/include contains the header files associated with your
[23:27] <wizardslovak> how do i install them tho?
[23:28] <well_laid_lawn> oh ok try apt-get source linux
[23:29] <wizardslovak> installed something
[23:29] <wizardslovak> but still
[23:29] <wizardslovak> The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does not match
[23:29] <wizardslovak> your running kernel (version 2.6.35-24-generic).  Even if the module were to
[23:29] <wizardslovak> compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.
